You don’t need to know the name of the lock. Tell us whether the key is broken, stuck or turning without opening the door. We’ll discuss the next step and the visit you need.
If the key has snapped, leave the fitting as it is and tell us whether any of the fragment is visible. We assess whether extraction is possible and check the lock afterwards. Removing the fragment does not automatically mean the damaged fitting is ready to use again.
Does one key struggle, or have all the keys become difficult to use? That detail helps when you call. We check the cylinder and how the door locks before explaining whether a repair or suitable replacement is needed.
A jammed lock can leave you outside even with the key in your hand. Describe the door and what happened just before it stopped working. We assess the entry options and explain any need for replacement hardware before proceeding.
Whether the fitting is damaged or you need a new set of keys, we discuss the replacement and the work involved before installing it. The existing door and lock furniture help determine what will fit; share any specific requirements when booking.
If the handle moves but the door will not lock, the mechanism or its alignment may need attention. We check how the door closes and how the locking points engage, rather than assuming that changing the cylinder will solve the problem.
Give us details of the actual entrance that has failed, including any separate shutter, cylinder or access control. We can discuss the appropriate visit, who will provide access and who can authorise work on the business premises.

Before you try the spare key
If a piece of the key is still in the lock, avoid pushing another key in behind it or trying to turn the fragment with force. Leave the fitting as it is and tell us whether the door is open, shut or locked.
Have a spare key? Mention it when you call, but wait until the fragment and fitting have been assessed before trying it. A clear photograph can show us what is visible. We’ll explain whether extraction, a repair or replacement is appropriate once we have checked the lock.

Not necessarily. Extraction may be possible, depending on the position of the fragment and the condition of the lock. We assess the fitting and explain whether it remains usable or needs repairing or replacing before agreeing the work.
House lockout labour starts at £80, front or back door lock repair labour at £90, and a fresh mortice lock or night latch installation at £110. Locks and replacement parts are separate.
